1947 Some of you will recall stories that on

Obama goes to IRAQ and all the major news anchors tag along.

John McCain goes to IRAQ (3 times) and the major news networks barely notice.

Obama get’s an editorial in the NewYork Times,  about his plans for IRAQ.

John McCain offers his plan to the NewYork Times, but, is turned away.

ETC, ETC, ETC.

Belated for Michigan:   But here’s a link to the Cost of Government web site .

This site lists the actual number of day’s you worked this year,  to pay off your government debt.  We,  here in Michigan,  worked until July 9th,  until the money we earned was our own.

“Want to know why Washington DC is the blight of America instead of being the centerpiece of our great country? Start looking at the impact educated fools like Chief Lanier make on our cities and then start working your way up through the government to find the same types of educated idiots who put the Cathy Laniers of the world in charge. The common denominator of all these gun haters is a fear of law-abiding citizens having the ability to protect themselves and the nerve to think they know what is best for you and me…”

The network news shows,  and newspapers,  in the day’s leading up to the 4th of July Holiday,  along with the bit’s and pieces of blogging I’ve been reading,  have not had a good effect on me.  Right now,  I’m kind of in a drawn back mood.   That is,  harden the ramparts,  keep the armament at ready,  and ignore the outside world unless directly attacked.  

There’s so much lying and falsification,  especially in politics, business, and terrorism,  that I just don’t want to deal with it right now.  There doesn’t really seem to be a lot of incentive to try to right the falsehoods,  since regardless of the documentation one produces,  most people will refuse to believe the truth, unless it’s the truth “They” want to hear. 

As example of the headlines that are bugging me:

• Obama’s “Poverty act”,  raise taxes to pay more cash to the U.N.
• The, repeal the Second Ammendment, trash
• $4.29  gas, with no relief in sight
• Amnesty for Illegal Aliens
• Foreign Terrorists are now protected by OUR Constitution
• The whole Globalization thing!
• Global Warming (or cooling, depending on who you listen to)
• Convicted Felons can vote,  but American Soldiers oversea’s Cannot!
• ETC, ETC, ETC.

To top all that off,  I’ve just completed a personal finance report showing that in the past 5 years, since I bought my current home,  I’ve paid the City I live in,  nearly 15,000 dollars in taxes and fee’s!!

…………/ GB \…………

Yep,  as I expected.  This from the Chicago RAG called a newspaper.

As I mentioned before,  if you can’t live happily and peacefully under our Constitution and Bill of Rights,  (as authored,  no editing please),  why not just pack up and move somewhere where you can be happy?

One argument against the Second Amendment, (by said RAG) was the so-called “compelling dissent” by Justise John Paul Stevens,   (a liberal activist I presume).  Just think,  if the anti crowd could have gotten just one more Liberal Activist Judge  nominated to the Supreme Court,  things might have been very different today.   (It just might have gone down in history, as first day of the end of the United States of America)

Another argument,  was that the big Cities should have the right to make their own banning laws,  even if it defies the Constitution.  (A very dangerous road in my opinion)

The article stated that crime will multiply unbounded,  and that it fell dramatically after guns were banned.  (That would mean places like Washington D.C. and Chicago,  would have “UBER-CRIME”  since with the gun ban in place,  they already have some of the highest crime rates in the nation)

The Chicago Tribune is wrong,  Daly is wrong,  Hillary and Obama are wrong, Feinstein,  Schumer, and McCarthy AND this entire list are WRONG.  Typically,  if they can’t win by playing by the rules,  they just try to change the rules or deceitfully confuse the subject,  so they can make their own rules.

Please remember to VOTE!
